Condition
The board is stable. There is some very light surface dirt in one or two places. The work appears to be in excellent and original overall condition, with delicate impasto. Inspection under ultra violet light reveals some slight inconsistency within the varnish, specifically at the edge of the proper left side of the sitter's neck, and in the fingers. The work is held behind glass in a painted wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any further questions regarding the present lot.
